The Power of Benefits: How to Make Your Ads Irresistible to Your Customers

Lai Marketing

When I was preparing today’s blog post, after reading replies from our last blog post. I realised there was a need to clearly discuss the existing differences between features and benefits. In the last blog post, we mainly centred our discussion on the benefits of communicating a service’s or brand’s benefits instead of features, but we were unable to clearly discuss the differences between features and benefits.

To understand, let we take an example from Denny Hatch whom in 2014 explained by the differences by drawing an example from the insurance industry to explain the differences as follows:

“If you buy a $1 million life insurance policy, you are promised that your heirs will receive a benefit of $1 million when you die”

From the above statement, the phrase “you will receive a benefit of $1 million when you die” is not a future as you first thought; it’s a feature of the policy. Thus, for an insurance company to convert many customers using the above advertisement statement, it should have said:

“You can sleep soundly knowing if something happens to you, your family will be okay. They can keep the house, pay the bills and will always remember you with love and appreciation.

The above statement, the insurance company created explanation of the feature of an insurance company provides the background under which we can define the two terms as follows; a future is a descriptive fact about a product or service, it’s what the product is or has; whilst, a benefit is what a product does or in other words we can say it’s what a customer gains as result of the future.

Therefore, to ensure that your products/services’ performs well in markets, your  teams in advertising and selling  should avoid as much as possible in using the “Bells and Whistle Approach” when performing their duties to ensure they reach their targets and your company’s make massive profits through their products or services.
